New trailer of ‘A Space Odyssey’ out after 40 years

A brand new trailer of Stanley Kuubrick’s 1968 classic ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ has been released, ahead of its special re-release.

The digitally restored film’s special limited UK release is on November 28 as part of the British Film Institute’s ’Sci-Fi: Days of Fears and Wonder’ season, said The Hollywood Reporter.

A new trailer commission by the BFI and Warner Bros has been unveiled. Created by Ignition Creative London, the trailer is the first for the title in four decades and uses Hal as the central figure to create an intensely eerie experience.

Jan Harlan, Kubrick’s executive producer, described the clip as ‘the best trailer for this film I have ever seen! To use Hal’s voice is brilliant’

‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ stars Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood will take part in a panel discussion at the BFI Southbank in London on the day of screening.
